Corbin Sued By Dealers
Rumor has it that Mike Corbin of Corbin Seats has been sued by a number of dealers who invested in his electric car business. Mike never delivered the cars to sell forcing the dealers to sue for fraud and damages.
New Movie Report From Sasha
Biker Boyz comes out on Jan 29th….bet ya it’s going to make the general public, merchandising arena and everything else go bonkers for everything to do with bikers…guaranteed. Kid Rock, Lawrence Fishburne, Lisa Bonet, Sallie Richardson.
Oh get this, I told the Dreamworks Pictures PR department about myself and that I wanted to go to the premiere so I can cover it for a bunch of motorcycle publications and they weren’t interested. Only the dailies they wanted… I was shocked. I said, you mean to tell me you’re not inviting ANY motorcycle journalists. She said, “no.” I don’t think I believe her.

SuperBowl Darwin Award
[UPI, Toronto]: Police said a lawyer demonstrating the safety of windows in a downtown Toronto skyscraper crashed through a pane with his shoulder and plunged 24 floors to his death.
A police spokesman said Garry Hoy,39, fell into the courtyard of the Toronto Dominion Bank Tower early Friday evening as he was demonstrating the strength of the building’s windows to visiting law students. Peter Lawson, managing partner of the firm Holden Day Wilson, told the Toronto Sun newspaper that Hoy was “one of the best and brightest” members of the 200-man association.
Daytona Courts Are Harsh
Ben Carvagno stood unforgiven, but unbowed, before the City Commission. His crime: selling sausage sandwiches under a festival tent before the official dates of Biketoberfest.
“After I heard they were selling at other places on Main Street, I opened up,” he said. “All these people on Main Street and I can’t serve them? I had all this perishable food — what was I supposed to do?”
The penalty: He’ll have to give up one day of outside sales at his Main Street Station business during Bike Week, Feb. 28 to March 9.
City commissioners imposed the penalty by a 4-3 vote Wednesday.
“You got it,” Carvagno said, happy that commissioners didn’t give him the “death penalty” that he said would force him out of business: a three-year ban from outside sales during any special event.
Commissioners gave themselves the power to enact the harsh penalty last year when they passed a series of code requirements in hopes of reducing traffic, trash, noise and wild behavior from special events.
In a series of votes Wednesday, commissioners slapped the one-day penalty on a second business, but let four other businesses off the hook after owners promised to comply with city rules. Commissioners also approved a master plan for outside sales at 41 businesses and rental of 16 city properties for activities and parking during Bike Week.
But two commissioners who represent the beachside area, where the outcry against events is the loudest — Mike Shallow and Darlene Yordon — drew a symbolic line in the sand against the cost of special events by opposing the plan for businesses. The city’s income from all special events last year fell about $1.1 million short of the cost of services; the balance was picked up by city taxpayers.
“Until the day comes that these plans have a check attached to them to reimburse the city, I’m not going to support them anymore,” Shallow said.

Discovery Girls Investigated
I’m sure you are aware that the two girls you reported on in your article: Bikernet Reveals Discovery Girls – On Bikes Women In The Wind For The Discover Channel Reflect On The Ride, By Jose, do not have great careers, but I am sure they fooled you unless you already knew the real facts.
The truth is QianQian Ma and Besty are both strippers at Bob’s Classy Lady. You can go and catch their act anytime. They spend their finances on traveling. I’m also sure you might like to know (if you already don’t), QianQian is NOT a photographer as she claims to be. As a matter of fact, she never even finished her AA at Santa Monica City College. Why you might ask? Its because she’s also a hooker and gets men to take her around traveling (all expenses paid).
I’m sure she wouldn’t mind it if you did the same. Maybe your reporting is not as good as you think if it’s supposed to be based on facts. So am I to believe the rest of the information that is presented on Bikernet.com? Please tell the reporters that they should do some research before writing on falsified information.

Sunday Post Discrimination Joke
A woman goes to the doctors, and says, “Doctor, I’ve got a bit of a problem. I’ll have to take my clothes off to show you.”
The doctor tells her to go behind the screen and disrobe. She gets undressed, and the doctor goes around to see her when she is ready.
“Well, what is it?” he asks.
“It’s a bit embarrassing,” she replies, “These two green circles have appeared on the inside of my thighs.”
The doctor examines her and finally admits he has no idea what the cause is. Then he suddenly asks, “Have you been having an affair with a biker lately?”
The woman blushes and says, “Well,… yes, actually I have.”
“That’s the problem!” the doctor says, “Tell him that his earrings aren’t made of real gold!”

Another Cop Kills A Biker
Lake City, Florida: An off-duty police officer involved in a November accident that resulted in the death of a Daytona Beach man has been charged with drunken driving.
Misty Mechelle Gable, 37, had a blood alcohol reading of 0.132 percent at the time of the crash, well above Florida’s legal limit of 0.08, according to Florida Highway Patrol reports.
The charge was filed Wednesday, said FHP Lt. Mike Burroughs. Gable has been an officer with the Lake City police department since 2001.
Police said the Nov. 10 accident occurred on U.S. 41 when Gable and friend Anthony Cericola of Daytona Beach collided while riding their motorcycles.
Gable was leading Cericola when she slowed down to turn into a parking lot. Apparently unaware Gable slowed down, Cericola collided with Gable’s motorcycle, police said.
Cericola and Gable were each thrown from their motorcycles. Cericola landed in the road and was struck by a Ford Explorer, whose driver left the scene of the accident. That driver, Kelly McKeithen of Wellborn, was eventually found and has been charged with leaving the scene of a crash involving serious injury or death.
Lake City police Capt. Gary Laxton said Gable was placed on administrative reassignment at the police resource center after the accident.
Gable faces a $500 fine and six months in jail.
Police Accuse Woman In Killing
By Valeria Pearcey FLORIDA TODAY
MICCO — Close friends affectionately called George D. Jupin “Georgie Nine Knuckles” after he lost his right index finder in a lawn-mower accident.
He didn’t mind though and named his favorite Harley-Davidson show bike, Knuckle Sandwich.
“He was a fun-loving, all-American guy,” his friend “Big John” Boudreau said Wednesday. “He didn’t have any enemies.”
Jupin, however, was found shot to death Tuesday in the bedroom of the Micco home he shared with girlfriend Jody Bowman and her two daughters. Bowman, 33, charged with first-degree murder, turned herself in to the Brevard County Detention Center on Wednesday.

Dual Carb Report
The dual air cleaner set up looks perfect. Nice job in keeping a 50’s style look while maintaining functionality. K&N also makes filters for those (at least they did 3 years ago) that you may want to check into for better flow and durability. Those paper elements will break down pretty quick with road debris.
The tear down of my 2000 RK has begun since all parts are in. I will send pics when I am finished in a couple of months, let you know what can be done with a king (make sure Jose gets ’em too). Who says they gotta look like wheelchairs?

Stella Award–Lawsuit Of The Week
Terrence Dickson of Bristol, Pennsylvania, was leaving a house he had just finished robbing by way of the garage. He was not able to get the garage door to go up since the automatic door opener was malfunctioning.
He couldn’t re-enter the house because the door connecting the house and garage locked when he pulled it shut. The family was on vacation, and Mr. Dickson found himself locked in the garage for eight days. He subsisted on a case of Pepsi he found and a large bag of dry dog food. He sued the homeowner’s insurance claiming the situation caused him undue mental anguish. The jury agreed to the tune of $500,000.
Kick-Off Time Is Coming Up–I’ve got to find my Whiskey. Layla has gone to the store for spinach dip and a loaf of bread to cut out. Hell, I’m still waiting on my Sunday pancakes.
The Blonde has a Hispanic girl in her bedroom. They were raising hell all night. I roughed out a road test on the New Vegas from Victory yesterday for Cruising Rider. A very impressive motorcycle for less than $15,000. I also worked on a Chapter of Chance, 26, for Horse. This book will also see print this year.
Today I’ll try like hell to put up the carb tech for Trock and a new legislative news. Then I’m taking the rest of the day off. Go Raiders!
